CfP: SPIN 31st International Symposium on Model Checking Software, 7 - 8 May 2025, Hamilton (Canada)

SPIN
31st International Symposium on Model Checking Software
https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/
7 - 8 May 2025
co-located with ETAPS 2025, Hamilton, Canada
*********************************************************
Theme of the Symposium:
-----------------------
The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners
interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software
as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validati
on. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software but does not
exclude the analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on t
heoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, and empirical evalu
ation.
The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state mode
l checking, specifically as related to the SPIN model checker.
However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly-scoped symposium for so
ftware analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, a
utomated theorem proving, and symbolic execution. An overview of the previo
us SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at:
https://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops/.
Topics of Interest:
-------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of (concurrent) sof
tware/hardware, including:
-- Model checking
-- Deductive verification
-- Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
-- Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
-- Static analysis and abstract interpretation
-- Modular and compositional verification techniques
-- Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
-- Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
-- Program synthesis
-- Derivation of specifications, test cases etc. via formal analysis
-- Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
-- Formal analysis of learned systems
-- Any combination of the above
* Application and/or engineering of verification tools, including:
-- Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
-- Implementation of novel verification tools
-- Benchmarks and comparative studies for verification tools
-- Verification tools using modern hardware, e.g.: multi-core CPU, GPU,
TPU, cloud, and quantum

Paper Submission:
13 Feb 2025 Artifact Submission (Tool Papers): 27 Feb 2025 Pap
er/Artifact Notifications: 24 Mar 2025 Artifact Sub
mission (Other Papers): 12 Mar 2025 Non-tool Paper Artifact Notificat
ion: 1 May 2025
Symposium:
7-8 May 2025
Submission Details:
-------------------
We are soliciting three categories of papers:
* Full Research Papers describing fully developed work and complete results
(16 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices);
* Full Tool Papers, accompanied by a *Mandatory Artifact*, describing work
that is closely-related to the development or the evaluation of a verificat
ion tool or similar (16 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices);
* Short Papers presenting tools, technology, experiences with lessons learn
ed, new ideas, work in progress with preliminary results, and novel contrib
utions to formal methods (6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices).
Note: Artifact evaluation is optional for short papers but highly recommend
ed for those with a focus on tools. If you want to have the accompanying ar
tifact of your short paper evaluated, please submit it to the mandatory AE
on February 27.
Papers submission website:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spin2025 -- in the track Research
Papers, select the respective paper category.
All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by m
embers of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis
of originality, the importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, qua
lity of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work.
The proceedings of SPIN 2025 will be published as part of post-conference p
roceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Submissi
ons should adhere to the LNCS format; see https://www.springer.com/gp/compu
ter-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
Please take into account Springer's Book authors code of conduct when prepa
ring submissions:
https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct.
Artifact Evaluation:
--------------------
SPIN 2025 will feature artifact evaluation, performed by an Artifact Evalua
tion Committee (AEC). The AEC evaluates artifacts based on documentation, a
vailability, reproducibility of results, and tool reusability (if applicabl
e). Artifact submission is mandatory for Full Tool Papers. While artifact s
ubmission is optional for papers in other categories, we highly encourage a
uthors of papers involving tool development and empirical evaluation to sub
mit an artifact for evaluation. Papers with an accompanying artifact may be
awarded one or more badges from the EAPLS artifact badging scheme (https:/
/eapls.org/pages/artifact_badges/). More details can be found
at: https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/artifacts

Alexandre Duret-Lutz (EPITA Research Laboratory (LRE)) Orna Grumberg (Techn
ion, Israel)

*****************
This edition of SPIN will include artifact evaluation, cf.
https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/artifacts.
We are now forming an Artifact Evaluation Committee headed by our artifact
evaluation chairs:
Julie Cailler, University of Lorraine & Inria, France
(julie.cailler@loria.fr)
Nian-Ze Lee, LMU Munich / National Taiwan University
(nian-ze.lee@sosy.ifi.lmu.de)
If you have experience in artifact creation and evaluation or a passion for
tools and empirical experiments,
you are welcome to nominate yourself via an email to the AEC chairs.
